It's a natural that I'd flip for his goodies! Not to forget that he is 1 of Paris' top 3 musketeers of chocolat and won the competition for best chocolate macaron in 2005.

I bought the blue tin on the right full of macarons last trip just for painting purposes of course. This display is from Jean-Paul Hevin's shop on 231, rue Saint-Honore.

Last May, I stayed in a studio just a few doors down from his 3, rue Vavin shop, so I went in or at least looked in daily = heaven. I could buy a quiche + dessert + a very small piece of chocolate for lunch = heaven/Hevin.

I fell victim to this dessert in a glass (Verrine Mascarpone) just because it looked so pretty - painting purposes again.

I haven't made it yet to Hevin's de la Motte Picquet shop -> next trip. And next trip,I WILL GO UPSTAIRS TO the SALON DE THE on rue Honore!

Jean-Paul Hevin's new book..it's not here yet. You have to order it from Amazon.fr

No Carol I have not been away. I meant NO WAY can one be sad, looking at this cobalt blue and chocolate... in refering to sad songs about blue... In fact I am new here. I clicked on BLUE to see you've done another blue segment earlier last year. I see I have much to check out. Am enjoying it ALL. I'm the one who wrote about the Saturday Tea party.CM in Or

Paris Letters

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5. I'm still at it, now tripping over cobblestones, living in a 6th-floor garret on l'Ile Saint-Louis, Paris. Read Parisbreakfast with a hot chocolate and croissant.
I paint Paris breakfasts.
